Want to ask your opinion!

I would not make a scene out of it unless you get written up. The, go thru the union.

PH days are just that. So you can call in sick or for emergencies. I would consider this an emergency for you but not sure how management views it.

I would not get all riled up about it and just let it go.

For us, we need to come in for atleast 4 hours or it is counted as a no call, no show. Or, call in an hour before the shift starts.

I hope your dad gets well.

Best thing to do is calmly repeat yourself, as if talking to a child, one or two times, thank her for her attention.....Then hang up. You're not asking permission, and the longer you stay on the line or debate with her, the more she can power-play it as if you are.

Exactly. OP isn't calling to say please, they were calling to notify mgmt of what was going to happen.
